Still November and I have a new question.

I have been working with a local high school in an intensive reading class. I have gone in and taught the teacher how to set up centers/stations in her classroom. She has implemented the stations and they have been very successful. Centers are an ESE and elementary classroom strategy. My background is in ESE/high school. I think it would be beneficial to our clients to have resources avalibale to them for setting up and creating effective centers/stations in their classrooms. Therefore my new and improved action research question is: How will my ESE background with the use of iPod technology enhance the quality of my training and support to my clients? I can't wait to get some video on some great teaching techniques taking place in our schools.

Creating centers/stations and using them effectively requires lots of specific steps. I wonder if your podcasts will include "how to" examples as well as interviews with clients as to their implementation, which would be helpful to others trying to implement. Maybe even interviews with students as to how they feel about the use of centers in the high schol setting??

I agree and yes, there will be how to steps. I think modeling is a great way to use podcasts effectively. I think the idea of interviewing students as well is great.
